I'm confused, isn't "karma" the upvote/downvote system? Because I'm still seeing it.
I think they mean account-scale points. As in the 30 points you get from this post and 20 from a different post total to 50 karma. Pretty core feature on Reddit and doesn't exist on Lemmy.
Here's hoping fake internet points dies with Reddit.
Yeah, as an ex redditor, we don't need that crap
Ah, that. Got it. Did people really check rando's karma? I don't think I ever looked up somebody's karma, I don't even really care about mine... Individual upvotes can give a nice dopamine rush from that sweet validation, though.
Karma is tied to the person and is the sum of the score for all posts, or all comments. But it is actually counted by the server, just not displayed in the default UI. You can go /api/v3/user?username=ekZepp@lemmy.world and search for post_score or comment_score.
